I’m not going to evaluate this tune as a result of I don’t wish to be unnecessarily imply, however listening to rookie group BLINGONE’s re-creation of KARA’s immortal Mister makes for an enchanting case research and comparability between Ok-pop generations. It solutions the query no one had however all people desires to know: What if a traditional second-gen tune had been launched at the moment amidst our present musical developments?
The reply is predictably sorrowful. Slightly than forged Mister inside a collection of blazing, high-energy synths, BLINGONE reinvent it with the herky jerky drum-and-bass rhythms presently flooding the market. The tune turns into nearly unrecognizable, its iconic, triumphant melodies lowered to a collection of chirps and squiggles. Because the instrumental continues to drop out, the tune loses all momentum, making its slower moments drag and sooner moments really feel hopelessly misplaced. It’s disjointed and troublesome to bop to, extra obsessive about creating three-second spotlight clips than fleshing out a full tune. And talking of full songs, the runtime for this new model has been reduce by over thirty seconds, which is wonderful as a result of BLINGONE’s model feels about ten instances as lengthy.
Once more, it’s simply an enchanting case research.
